Here is a very simple instruction on rooting LG GT540 when Universal Androot doesn't work:
1. Download and extract the attached package.
2. Connect the phone in "USB Debbuging Mode"
3. Doubleclick "root.bat" (extracted from the package)
4. Wait for the console to shut down and the phone to reboot.
The credit for this method goes probably to people from Modaco.
Since this is my first post and i am still not allowed to post links from external servers i won't give any mirrors for unregistered users. Sorry.
Any confirmation that this works?
It sounds just too easy!
Bakuj, you can PM me with link to the modaco forum, I cant find topic with this root method!
Cheers!
Rooted yesturdamy with this, works fine
I rooted my phone yesterday using that method.
I ran each line of code separately though as i had issues running the .bat file
Thanks a lot
Froyo?
I have a TMO Optimus T w/ FROYO. Will this work on it?
You can give it a try. But first look at the name of this forum section. It is for GT540.
I have made a new version which includes both root and app2sd.Named 1 click autorootapp2sd .
You can access the guide at modaco . The file is attached.Turn on usb debugging mode and run autorootapp2sd.bat.
Nice and handy ^^ thanks
ROOT for recovery:
1. Grab this file mediafire.com/?rc8g496og3482dx
2. Update.zip copy directly to an SD card
3. Reset the phone and start the recovery mode
4. Select the option to apply sdcard: update.zip
5. Root been made
Application was added to the package:
root explorer, superuser and busybox
Thanks a lot arekl1988r
but how can i unroot it?
flash the original GT540 ROM with lg software?
Yeah it should work. Also you can try a factory reset (never tested).
Hi Rooting will void my warrenty??
Im trying to root my phone.
I have USB debugging mode on the phone, and i tried running root.bat both as an administrator and a user.
I get stuck here (see attachement)
What have i done wrong?
I can see: device not found, try Turn USB Debugging ON
It is on, i also rebooted the phone.
Ok, so try this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Which one I had the same problems with III, but version IV fixed it all
My point is that. I am using Tmobile 3G network on my HD2 as Wifi Hotspot for the (Unlock P1000 Galaxy Tab). My laptop easily discover and connect with the network easily but My Galaxy Tab discover the network only when I downloaded WiFinder. It wont connect.
The Galaxy Tab discovered it as [WEP][IBSS] through WiFinder. It tried to connect but never happened.
I downloaded EM IP Utility to obtained my HD2 Cellular Line details as follows:
IP: 26.162.246.133
Mask: 255.0.0.0
DG: 26.162.246.133
DNS: 10.177.0.34
10.164.103.44
DHCP: False
I entered the information above to my Galaxy Tab Static IP. It wont still connect. Please help me.
On hd2 are u using android or windows mobile? Does your pc recognize the hd2 as a Ad-hoc network? If you are using android use the attached app for wifi tether and try again.
If hd2 uses a ad hoc network try this (u can use Root Explorer to replace the wpa_supplicant)

I am using Windows Mobile 6 on my HD2. As per the following instructions:
"I purchased a Samsung Galaxy tablet this weekend with out a 3G data plan as my idea was to just tether it to my cell phone where I have an unlimited data plan. There are several apps that will turn your phone into a wifi hot spot but all of them create an AD-HOC wifi network. Much to my surprise, by default, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will not see or allow you to connect to AD-HOC wifi networks. I took me some time to figure out how to get around this. I figured if I posted the information it might same someone else the same problems I had:
1. ROOT TABLET (This is a MUST)
2. MOUNT /system as RW - #mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
3. MAKE A BACKUP OF /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
4. REPLACE wpa_supplicant WITH VERSION I HAVE ATTACHED TO POST
5. MOUNT /system as RO - #mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
6. TURN wifi OFF and BACK ON.
Once you complete step 6 if there is a AD-HOC network in range it will show up as ssid(adhoc) in the available network list. Once you see the AD-HOC network you will be able to configure it and connect to it like you would any other wireless network."
How can I get to the next step below:
"MOUNT /system as RW - #mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"?
Please Help me
1. Root your Tab.
2. Download "root explorer" from Android Market (paid app)
3.Open root explorer and copy the wpa_supplicant file from the link that ive sent you.
4. Press mount RW on root explorer then navigate to /system/bin and replace wpa_supplicant (make sure to backup the file first)

Hi Lucian,
can you send me the link to wpa_supplicant as well. I tried with other versions but none work. I am using HD2 as well. Thanks.
Regards
Sorry Lucian, please ignore this message. I missed the attachement on top.
However, strangely i am unable to replace the WPA file even after following the above mentioned steps. It just could not be replaced.
Regards
can not replace the file
Please help!
I rooted Galaxy Tab using z4root and couldn't replace the wpa_supplicant file.
Funny thing is if I choose Temporary Root in z4root then I could replace the file without error, but the file restore as default after I reboot my Galaxy Tab.
would anyone share how and which file you were used to root your Galaxy Tab.
thank you very much.
Hey, guys after hours of thinkering it seems i devised a fix (at least a temporary, i guess it can be better implemented), but still wifi works with turned on radio.
I will not be doing any scripts or whatever.
DISCLAIMER
THIS IS ALL ON A BASIS OF INFORMING PEOPLE
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OF DATA, OR BRICKED DEVICES IN CONJUNCTION OF TRYING OUT THESE STEPS
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.
K now the requirements:
1. nonworking sim card (or att sim card)
2. RSD lite 5.0
3. stock 4.1.2.6 SBF flash file
4. Installed drivers on the computer for rsd
5. GladRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060 than you very much Ririal
6. OTA update
7. Working adb shell (there are other ways too but i prefer this one so ill write how i did it)
8. SQL editor, i used SQLite database browser (get it online its freeware)
9. titanium backup (if you wish to backup things, YOU MUST NOT RESTORE the [SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH] Settings Storage 2.2.1 however.
10. turned debug mode on when using adb
The process:
1. backup your data
2. Flash the stock image with RSD lite as its written here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072 thank you kennethpen
3. put in the nonworking/att sim turn on the phone use wifi to configure motoblur
4. do not download the update yet
5. obtain root as described here, use the 1.5.7 method tho since we will be updating the ota http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
thanks again ririal
6. download and install ota update
7. do the afterupdate with the GladRoot
8. still on wifi, set up google account, update market gmail etc.
9. use adb/root explorer to copy the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file to your sdcard into a directory you made before (name doesnt matter) example:
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard-ext/test
10. put phone into airplane mode, turn off phone
11. put in your sim card, turn on
12. let it boot and wait a min or two
13. before sliding press and hold the off button and choose airplane mode (it is IMPERATIVE that airplane mode is turned on)
14. sign into motoblur again (wifi should still work - turn it on tho since your in airplane mode)
15. repeat step 9 but copy to a second directory (lets say test1)
16. turn airplane mode off - you will loose wifi and sign into motoblur again
17. repeat step 9/15 but copy to a third directory (lets say test2)
18. copy the files from test2 and test1 to your computer - obviously to two different folders (use mass storage setting or adb pull)
19. open up the settings.db with sqlite from the not working config (in our case the one in test2) go to browse data and table secure
20. find the entry wifi_country_code and the value will be the one of your country (at least so it was with me), change that value by double clicking on it to US
21. Save the file
22. copy to your sdcard via usb to a directory lets name it "works"
23.turn off your phone, and put in the nonworking/att sim card, power it up
24. register motoblur again blah blah (ye its annoying there are ways around but that comes later and we needed it for the ota update)
25. turn the airplane mode off (its imperative to do so)
26. now we use adb again:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
rm settings.db
cp /sdcard-ext/works/settings.db .
chown system settings.db
chgrp settings.db
chmod 440 settings.db
cd ..
chmod 555 databases
exit adb shell with ctrl+d (in linux dont know about windows)
27. turn off phone, put in your sim card, turn on phone, register motoblur
28. most probably wifi will work for a moment than it will stop working and youll get a notifiaction lost data connection and something on (at least so it was for me)
29. use the wifi toggle on/of button to turn off and on the wifi a few times, than at the third or fourth time turn it off than on than immediately go into the browser and click on refresh as soon as you see the wifi icon in the notification tab. WiFi should work now, you can even turn it off and on with the wifi toggle button and it still works.
30. ANOTHER WARNING THO, THERE ARE QUITE SOME DRAWBACKS TO THIS METHOD (WHICH I HAVENT DISCOVERED ALL YET, TO BE HONEST BUT IM SURE THERE ARE QUITE SOME - SINCE WE DO NOT ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO EDIT THE SETTINGS.DB ANYMORE - BY CHMODDING THE PERMISSIONS), AN ISSUE I SAW IS THAT YOU CANNOT GO INTO AIRPLANE MODE ANYMORE - that is because the airplane mode state is saved in the same settings.db as the setting that blocks wifi, and if you just change that one and dont write protect the file and the databases folder the system just overwrites it again, so for now this is it.
AGAIN this is all on your own RISK, i cannot bi liable for anything out of the ordinary that happens, damages or whatsoever your phone or even you.
So now im awaiting responses if it works for you guys.
Oh and a few of the steps are just for backup purposes
Many thanks goes to Azuzu aswell, he was of great help all the time.
What about for the Canadian Bell Atrix can you please help us.
When I insert non working sim card into the phone, wi-fi working only once, after booting. Then when phone is going to lock, wi-fi is sleep and never work again. Is it instruction help to work with wi-fi during the day without rebooting? Thanks for instruction!
---
All is fine with Wi-Fi when it in Motoblur...
What about GPS?
May be needed to add GPS ON in this instruction?
Thanks guys. Its work for me. But too much DRAWBACKS. GPS does not work, settings are not saved
my friends you figured it all out like i did after a day of testing.
As i already said before there are some rather big probles that arise with this method, however for now this is the only way i found to having a working sim +wifi working.
Basically all the issues arise from the settings menu, since the settings from there are stored in the setting.db file that we disallow changing, due to this fact, i have devised a rather simpler way to do all the above + apply your specific settings - however you still wont be able to change them once you change the permissions.
1. gps state cant be changed as reported
2. ringtone/notification tone cant be changed
3. USB mode is stuck in NONE mode or the one you changed it to before doing read only
4. Possibly you cant pair new BT devices (havent tried that but i assume it might happen)
5. cant change lockscreen type (so if you pick fingerprint afterwards it wont change the lockscreen)
6. more possible problems, still if you want wifi you will endure some of those, they are however rather easy to fix, for people who dont change things all the time.
7. i found out that you have to turn off and on wifi (with the widget or in the networks menu) 2 times to make it work and it stops working if your phone changes the network from 3g to 3g or vice versa, however you just turn wifi off and on again and its fine (eventually you can just set your phone to 2g only or 3g only - either the dialer method or edit a config file - ill post that another time)
8. airplane mode not changing as stated above
So i did it like this this time:
lets assume you already have the phone 1.5.7 rooted (you can even have 1.2.6 rooted but the ota update brings nice features like longer battery, better fingerprint reader etc) and activated. NOW THIS SHORTENS THE PROCESS BY FAR and improves on the things that werent working before, it might lower battery life minorly but, well mine is still at 70% after ~16 hours so )
YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS ONLY ONCE (well at least until you want to change your ringtone hahaha )
1. Put in your working sim (just into the rooted atrix and the databases dir has to be read write like before, if you followed my guide above you have to go with adb shell to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and write chmod 755 databases)
2. turn on phone in normal mode
3. set all your settings as you like and i really mean all - ringtones notifications - everything you can think of
4. turn all the networks on - wireless (it wont work but the state has to be on), bluetooth, gps - the thing is you can always turn them off, but if you write protect the file with them off you cant turn them on properly
5. pair your bluetooth devices (all of them) - havent tried yet if necessary but i think it is
6. reboot phone into normal mode, assure yourself that all the things are as you like
7. connect phone in debug mode, and set usb to none (it will stay in the none state, but you can always copy stuff with adb over, to your sdcard/internal phone mem as opposed to choosing mass storage mode where you have no adb access to them, but that is your choice ( you can manually change the state in the settings.db before making it read only, but i wont go into those details now)
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard-ext/test
cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db .
ctrl+c/d to exit shell
8. connect phone in mass storage mode, open the settings.db file in the /sdcard-ext/test with the sqlite editor go to the brose tab, and secure, change the wifi_country_code value to ALL (last time i wrote US but ALL works fine so its more relaxed), save it
9. change the usb connection mode back to none
10. failure to chown and chgrp the settings.db to system and chmod it correctly can results in a soft brick
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
rm settings.db
cp /sdcard-ext/test/settings.db .
chown system settings.db
chgrp system settings.db
chmod 440 settings.db
cd..
chmod 555 databases
reboot
11. the phone shoudl reboot now with all the networks turned on, you can use the widgets (or int he wireless menu) to turn off wifi and bluetooth (tested it myself and it works), havent tested gps turning off yet, but its no problem since gps turns on itself only when apps use it (maps etc, weatherbug can use it aswell, so might check into it if its permanently turned on than)
12. turn wifi off and on 2-3 times, than turn it on, it should be working now
Thanks for testing this out to confirm that it works at least
Anyhow if someone might get a clue what issues the command to change the wifi_country_code hes encouraged to share, so we can only fix that problem and there wont be these side effects than
you can however change all the settings by just editing the settings.db with the sqlite editor manually, youd have to figure out all the parameters and values yourself (some are fairly easy - for instance for usb mode, some can be rather hard - for instance ringtones, cuz you must have the path and everything)
EDIT, YOU CAN LEAVE OUT THE PAIRING BLUETOOTH DEVICES STEP, pairing works, i just tried it with an apple bluetooth kb, and its fine.
RacecarBMW i cannot say anything with certainty, since i dont have one to test it on, but probably the same method would work for the bell atrix (use the method in the post above, with the ALL value for wifi_country_code), however you have no sbf to flash and its way more dangerous that you will create a softbrick, so please be very careful and its all YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I AM AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS.
We need to lock only some rows in db file or creating daemon which would keep these lines in memory. Is it posible with SQLite?
crnkoj Please change on step 10 in listing:
cd /data/data/android.providers.settings/databases
to
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
I do all steps and my GPS works fine... Thanks
how can i undo this:
chown system settings.db
chgrp system settings.db
chmod 440 settings.db
chmod 555 databases
what's default settings?

you can just enter to another folder to /data/data/ directory with cd and run ls -l to view directory permissions.
chmod 755 databases
and something like 755 for settings.db
thank you Jartyn, replaced that in step 10. And yes Jartyn exactly as you say we jsut have to keep this line permanent and everything else changeable (maybe there is an option in sqlite to block only 1 line? - i dont know so much).
I do however know now, which process is changing this:
it is the WifiStateTracker ( http://www.androidjavadoc.com/1.1_r1_src/android/net/wifi/WifiStateTracker.html ) from android.net.wifi , i however dont know where to find this on the phone.... we would most probably only have to change one line in the WifiStateTracker and it would work fine (however this still wouldnt be fixing the source, we would just fix the change in country code, yet the reference to which its compared is still unknown to me, but i think it would suffice for us) the funny thing here is the WifiStateTracker is not in the official android tutorial tho:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/package-summary.html
so if anyone knows where to find this we could fix it easyly
1.5.2

Hi can this fix be on a custom rom? i mean it will be included on a custom rom..
ronaldo, use search ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010942&page=3 lucky you arent one of us who have this issue.
emorej, if you read my first post, it says i wont be doing any scripts/cwm flashable updates/custom roms. If anyone wants to implement this in his rom hes free to do so, he has to be careful tho, since basiically the script that updates it, has to change only the wifi_country_code ALL and than make the databases folder read only, it must not copy over a generic settings.db since there are user specific things in it.
Jartyn and i are trying to figure a more source problem related fix for the issue, but that will take quite some time i fear.
Here is an even better solution from akizakian
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058260
Simplest Solution
I had this same issue and the simplest solution is here:
1. Extract the attached zip file and you will get two files.
2. Turn off Wi-Fi, replace the two files in
/system/etc/firmware/wifi
This can be done using adb or Root Explorer.
turn Wi-Fi back on, and that's it!
Mate you are mistaken, its two totally different issues you and i are talking about, yours is that 5ghz isnt working, mine is that wifi isnt working in certain countries at all. by copying the files you supplied my wifi again stops working, because there is a country lock within the moto atrix wifi drivers (the version doesnt matter, may it be 1.2.6, 1.5.2, 1.5.7 or 1.8.3, the issue you fixed with your method is only the nonworking 5ghz on the 1.5.2. leaked sbf)

@Flypants101010 : yes sir, I also have stock kernel with GingerDX v14. Still now we dont have any option to solve. I searched forum for the solution but I didnt find any. If you get some I request you to remember me please and share.
i have an idea we could change the tiwlan.ini in /system/etc/wifi like in the mod for faster
wifi (N standard mod) it says that the mod enables n standard and wifi adhoc im going to try it!
i use gingerdx 017 and i had try your sugestion, i change to faster mode wifi (n standard mode), but the problem was not solved.
I think gingerDX not yet support wifi hotspot. Can try app like Barnacle from market (saw somewhere in this forumn work well, haven't tried yet).
Well you're luck cuz I don't have any wifi or bt now (after installing GDX v17)
anyway, if you want to connect your phone with laptop I can help there is app called connectify (it's cool really) give it try.
I hope I helped
guys, nothing helped me. the problem remains same. ugraded to v17
do a clean install make sure u do a full wipe and all your wifi problems and bluetooth problems should have disappeared ive never had any problems with wifi or bt when using the method i just told you
Even after clean install of GDx V019, then full wipe, X8 fails to connect to Ad-hoc N/w on my laptop. It fails to get the IP address. But there is absolutely no problem in connecting with wifi.

Ad-hoc
I have same problem, phone reboot after screen timeout while connected to ad-hoc network but it doesn’t happen when I am charging my phone?? Any cure?
just installed gingerDX v021, and the problem goes on...
When connected with adhoc, when screen turns off, it reboot...
Any solutions?
AdHoc Problem
Hi,
I found out the solution, it worked gem for me. All new custom ROMs comes with Wifi N standard enabled and as per developers N standard does not support Adhoc connectivity. So simply we need to disable the N standard if you frequently use Adhoc or you don’t have N standard routers.
Follow this steps:
- Launch Root Explorer.
- go to: /system/etc and find a file named tiwlan.ini(Path for miniCM RC1 or CM6). For CM7 based ROMs the path may be /system/etc/wifi. And copy this file to SD card??
- Now copy(tiwlan.ini) file to your computer via USB cable. And open the file using Notepad.
- Look for these below mentioned lines and change them from 1 to 0 (use ctrl+f to search in notepad)
HT_Enable=1 ---> HT_Enable=0
BurstModeEnable = 1 ---> BurstModeEnable = 0
Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 1 ---> Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 0
(CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE OR USE SPACE JUST REPLACE 1 WITH 0)
- Now copy the edited tiwlan.ini from your computer to your SD card, and then copy this to its original location by using root explorer with mount R/O enabled and replace the original file, and exit from root explorer without any further changes.
- Go to settings from menu and go to wireless & network>Wi-fi setting and clear all the network(SSID) name you used before by long pressing the name and then select forget network.
- Restart your phone and enjoy??
If useful pls hit the thanks button.
thanks dude worked charm for my friend x8
it worked for me after I unlocked my bootloader and flashed alfs 07 ics kernal and used gdx 22 and it works perfectly and better performance
Great to hear this some people successfully connected to Adhoc wifi.

- Look for these below mentioned lines and change them from 1 to 0 (use ctrl+f to search in notepad)
HT_Enable=1 ---> HT_Enable=0
BurstModeEnable = 1 ---> BurstModeEnable = 0
Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 1 ---> Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 0
(CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE OR USE SPACE JUST REPLACE 1 WITH 0)
- Now copy the edited tiwlan.ini from your computer to your SD card, and then copy this to its original location by using root explorer with mount R/O enabled and replace the original file, and exit from root explorer without any further changes.
- Go to settings from menu and go to wireless & network>Wi-fi setting and clear all the network(SSID) name you used before by long pressing the name and then select forget network.
- Restart your phone and enjoy??

It was a good advice at the time of the writing, but GingerDX v29 already contains these modifications.
I tried wifi hotspot function using two X8 phones, both running GingerDX v29. As I also had "error" always when I tried to start it. Interesting thought my X10 mini Pro (also running GingerDX v29) was working as a hotspot using the same menu item.
Then I realised what is written in the first post:
GingerDX v029 (29-09-2012) - huuuuuuuuge update:
Based on MiniCM shakira device tree
CM nightly dated on 28/09/2012
New devices officially supported from now (Xperia X10 Mini, Xperia X10 Mini Pro, Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830 - thanks to CallMeVentus)
Updated Google Play Store to 3.8.17
Removed Nemus Launcher
Added Holo Launcher 1.2.4
Added Google Authenticator
Spare Parts/Dev Tools
Ultra-brightness
Ultra-brightness power toggle
Native WiFi tethering (custom kernel only)

Which was the problem the X8's had. As custom kernels require unlocked bootloader and they should be produced before 11w29 as the guide says:
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or PAST 11W29, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER. IT WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN A HARD BRICK

So this can also be the reason. HTH
My apologies for posting a question on what is most likely the wrong forum - but after 15-minutes of searching, I could not find the right forum for a new Galaxy Tab Active 2 question.
This is a question more related to software and may be more generic ?
My wife is the owner of a new Galaxy Tab Active 2 , and she is struggling to have her many Android applications installed not on the 16-GByte internal memory, but instead on a 128 GB microSD card she has in the Tablet. She has found various guides, but they either are not applicable to Active2 (as their menu options don't exist on Active 2) or they simply only work for some apps but not the necessary/important to her applications that she wants to transfer to the microSD card. In particular she would like the application "Line" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.naver.line.android&hl=en ) and also "WhatsAPP' (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp&hl=en) configured such that all their data goes on the microSD card. Unfortunately (especially for Line) she has not been able to do such.
Can anyone point me to the correct forum area ?
Again - my apologies for likely posting in the wrong area.
I own tab active 2 sm-390 too. 16gb is really not enough. We can only wait some professional to root the machine. Once root, we can try 'adaptive storage' or other app like 'App2SD' to save internal storage.
Just want to update you that I solve the storage problem.
1) You need to download the firmwire , extract the 'boot.img' file. Then, copy the file to your tablet.
2) Then, you have to install Magisk Manager and run the manager to patch the 'Boot.img'. In setting, remember to set the output file to odin format.
3) Copy the patched file to computer. In computer, run odin to install the patched file to tablet.
4) The tablet will then be reset. Now, the tablet is already rooted.
5) Then, run Apps2SD, you can move all apps to SD.
I am now have around 50 apps installed.
Please a step by step
Awesome!
You are such a genius to give us this good news
Can you please provide us a step by step guide and also the links to the files so that we can follow.
Thank you so much
How are you getting root.
I have the galaxy tab active 2 / T395 and have tried all the stand alone apks out there that claim they can root any android device; 'KingRoot, KingoRoot, OneClickRoot, z4mod.z4root, Rootmaster and Framaroot'. But do absolutely nothing for the T395 active 2.
However I can confirm that 'mark.mccv' method of rooting DOES WORK for the T395.
I guess the days of using CF-Auto Root & TWRP are over for the newer Nougat 7.1.1

You forgot to mention, when installing the 'patched_boot.img' you need to turn 'OFF' both the FRP & OEM locks. Otherwise, when trying to flash the 'patched_boot.img' through Odin on the PC.
The devices download screen shows 'custom binary boot file' blocked by the FRP & OEM locks......
For anyone stuck on this ROOT process , you turn off the FRP lock by just deleting your Google accounts from your devices settings page.
Remove, turn OFF the OEM lock , by going to 'settings' > 'developers tools' > 'oem unlock'
On flashing the patched_boot.img , you will see a verification screen page after reboot, which forces you to reset, reformat your device. So back up your files beforehand.
Once reset, your device is rooted, ready to install busybox , adaway etc.
Well Crap...I just got my Nice, New, Sparkleing Tab Active2 and cant root it yet. I have the New US version SM-T397U Unlocked model. cant find a Stock firmware on Sammobile as of yet...any ideas?
EDIT: Neeeevermind... I did a lil hacking and cracking (for about 26min, lol) to find the files I needed for the SM-T397U. If anyone is looking for em let me know and I'll shoot em' your way. Guessing I'm the first person to root a T397U, hope more will follow. I havent even had this thing 6 hours yet. Thanks for the write up and all those that contributed to the tools and info.
Crap: posetd this is two threads, realized i was typeing in the wrong one, cut and pasted and still hit send. oops
Worked perfectly, Thank you very much!
WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING ON YOUR TABLET.
Backup all of your important files before you flash the patched boot.img using odin.
I tried to backup my app data using samsung switch and it worked, but didn't restore most of my device settings and all of my app data.
(Good thing I kept backups for my important apps that had in app backup functionality - like Nova launcher and Squid)
Also, If you are having any trouble, then you can take a look at this thread (more detailed): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab/help/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-active-2-t3775664
Last thing, you probably won't be able to get OTA updates after you perform these steps, it doesn't matter though since this tablet isn't going to be updated that frequently (The 8.0 update is going to come at the end of 2018, source)
Did App data remain after rooting

Hi mark.mccv
Please confirm if the data remained (i.e. was not erased) after the rooting?
Thanks in advance.
I just came across a little gem, my uncle Gave me his T397U that he used to use for work, but has since upgraded!!!! I was so stoked until I powered up to realize that’s its full on knox mdm and is running what I’m assuming is the OS from his job, accessing reg samsung os at all is only possible through safe mode at the present moment ...I apologize if I’m in the wrong area, I’m vey New and honestly not even navigating around the boards to efficiently just yet ! Hopefully someone will want to throw me a bone! Thank you all for the amazing plethora of information!!!!
